A motor vehicle driving license that is damaged and illegible should be replaced within thirty days. Process for replacing a motor vehicle driving license: Bring two one-inch photos, ID card, medical examination certificate, and driving license to the traffic police brigade for processing. When applying for a replacement at the traffic police brigade, you should fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Application Form" and submit the following materials: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver, the motor vehicle driving license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or above medical institution or a military medical institution at the regiment level or above. Scoring cycle of the driving license: The scoring cycle refers to the cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations, which is 12 months with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driving license was first obtained. If the initial license issuance date is September 16, 2015, the scoring cycle is from September 16 of that year to September 16 of the following year.
Last time my driver's license got accidentally soaked in the rain, which really worried me. Later, after checking the regulations, I learned that I had to apply for a replacement within 30 days. Delaying it too long isn't allowed—if caught by traffic police, you could face fines or demerit points, and in severe cases, other penalties. I quickly went to the local DMV to fill out an application form, bringing along a new photo and my ID. The process wasn't too complicated, but it required an in-person visit. A reminder to everyone: always carry valid documents when driving to ensure a safe journey. Pay attention to keeping your license safe in daily life to avoid unnecessary trouble, especially in unexpected road situations—having all your documents in order always brings peace of mind.
